Mike was right when he said I'd put up

A fight to be someone, a fight to be me

But see now, I'm down

Under the pavement

Of Capitals hills and lowercase people

As time rolls by my dreams have

become

That which is attainable

Now what I'm looking for!

I've got the company car

I'm the one swinging at two below par

Yeah, I've become one with the ones

That I've never believed in

But I've got the company car

(Hey)I'm the king of things I've always

despised

I'm the gingerbread man

Who got eaten alive

I'm half baked! I'm fake!

But see I've got hotels on

Park Place and Boardwalk

And two hundred bucks

I pass go but, oh! Life's taken it's toll

Have I won monopoly to forfeit my soul?

All the kings horses

At the foot of the wall

They're taking pictures of

The man who's last all of his

Masks of pretension

He's got two faces left

His is the one that he hides

On the left behind that smile

Hiding tears and fear

That burn like an engine

It drives him away

From the ones that he loves

Mike was right:

"Hey Mike! We're one and the same;

We're the faceless combatants in the

loneliest game"

Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by

With that smirk in my eye, yelling

"Hey, I'm something man, check me

out!"
